That video will be around for years to come,\u201d said the mother of the complainant. \u201cIt is too soft; she will have life-long suffering from this.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Marks did suggest Mogany was a candidate for full rehabilitation, and ordered the sentence be carried out in terms of legislation which would allow him to be released after 10 months, based on good behaviour, and placed under correctional supervision. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">The complainant said she found it difficult to trust people since the incident and was fearful of walking in the street in case she was recognised from the video. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">\u201cI need someone to help me, to talk to, as I have no one I trust outside my family,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Marks had recommended she seek professional help to deal with the trauma she experienced. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\">Mogany\u2019s brother-in-law, who was present during the sentencing and was originally charged alongside Mogany but was later acquitted, declined to comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"arcticle_text\"><strong>The Mercury<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Independent Newspapers Darren Mogany has been sentenceed to five years in jail for raping an unconscious 17-year-old girl with a beer bottle, filming it and passing the video on to a friend.
